Have not watched kids films for some years, so I missed "Here Come the
Tigers" when it first came out. (Never even saw "Bad News Bears" even
though in the '70s I worked for the guys who arranged financing for
that movie, "Warriors," "Man Who Would Be King," and "Rocky Horror
Picture Show," among others.) Now I like to check out old or small
movies and find people who have gone on to great careers despite being
in a less than great movie early on. Just minutes into this movie I
could take no more and jumped to the end credits to see if there was a
young actor in this movie who had gone on to bigger and better
things--at least watching for his/her appearance would create some
interest as the plot and acting weren't doing the job. Lo and behold, I
spied Wes Craven's name in the credits as an electrical gaffer. He'd
already made two or three of his early shockers but had not yet created
Freddie Krueger or made the "Scream" movies. Maybe he owed a favor and
helped out on this pic. More surprising was Fred J. Lincoln in the cast
credits as "Aesop," a wacky character in the movie. F.J. Lincoln, from
the '70s to just a few years ago, appeared in and produced adult films.
He was associated with the adult spoof "The Ozporns," and just that
title is funnier than all of "Tigers" attempts at humor combined. Let
the fact that an adult actor was placed in a kids movie be an
indication as to how the people making this movie must have been asleep
at the wheel.
